Stone Records was a rap label from San Jose in the late 80's/early 90's. Here's one of their records they released:

Homeliss Derilex shopped their demo to Stone Records back then (in the late 80's) and that's the origin of the quote.
Charizma and I eventually found out about the HDs and bumped their demo tape in our ride on the regular. It was the only thing we bumped besides our own music. That song was recorded in around 1993.
The name "Stones Throw" was not in any way inspired by the label Stone Records. It was a quote from my mom.

Here's some nerd out trivia. Back when I was living with Madlib, Jeff Jank, and Egon, I kept a gang of records in the basement in that house and it got flooded. I didn't know and about a year later, I went down there and all my records were ruined. I had to throw away AT LEAST a thousand. I guess Jeff turned the lemons into lemonade because he used some of those covers for the BK series.
Or maybe the fucker was just trying to rub it in that I lost a good chunk of my collection.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Of course I realize it doesn't compare to Wu Tang other than sonically, but thats because I used the Ensoniq EPS sampler for this stuff, which I found out later that RZA coincidentally used too for "Enter the 36 Chambers" that was made a couple years later. If anyone wants to get that dirty/raw sound, just find an EPS. Forget all these new computer programs if that's what you're going for. 12 bit.
Oh yeah, and record straight to tape.

As a side note, that song was made strictly for live shows. Charizma would be non-stop jumping around, rapping his ass off song after song (Red Light Green Light, Jack The Mack, etc), then we'd play that halfway through the set and he and I would sit on chairs and drink Apple Juice and scream "Apple Juice Break". It was stupid and funny and weird and the crowd didn't know what to do.

nice. This is a box set of Stones Throw songs that have never been on 7". Songs like "Unassisted" by Rasco, "Official" by Jaylib, "Accordian" by Madvillain, "My World Premier" by Charizma, "Greenery" by Quas, etc

These songs are definitely not sub-par to Stones Throw in my opinion. And not meant to be 80's.
I just did it to do it. I've been bored lately. Glad to hear that some of you like some of em and some of you hate all of em. They're not really supposed to be looked at as a series. Or maybe they are. I don't know.
PS-Yes, I made the "Styles, Crews" beat back then with Lootpack in mind and when I showed it to them, they were with it, so I was so happy to get them on my album. The only song I can think of where Lord Quas rapped over someone else's track!
